Joan Kennedy

Joan Kennedy appears with her husband, U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, in this Nov. 7, 1979, photo during a campaign announcement in Boston. Friends say the scrutiny that came with being a Kennedy didn't suit her shy personality, and has magnified a chronic alcohol problem. On March 28, 2005, Mrs. Kennedy, 68, was found sprawled on a street with a cut on her forehead and suffering from a concussion and broken shoulder.
